Blast Off:Your Official Schedule for the Launch Pad Expert Sessions at #SAPPHIRENOW

To get the most out of your #SAPPHIRENOW experience, make sure to attend the expert sessions in the “Launch Pad” area at each campuses so that you can learn more and get your questions answered.

These value-add sessions can round out your experience even more. Each of the campuses, Platform and Technology, Lines of Business and Industries, will have a Launch Pad area which will offer the expert sessions that drill down on topics related to their respective campus. The Launch Pad areas are staffed by experts from SAP’s Global Partner Operations team that can provide answers on specific questions for all attendees(customers and partners) in respect to the topics that they are covering.

Below is a table that provides you with a schedule of the Launch Pad expert sessions within each of the campuses. Some of the sessions are repeated, so if you miss a session, you can always go back the next day. Please note that this schedule is not available via the SAPPHIRE NOW agenda builder.

So check out the schedule and let me know which sessions you are going to attend, and why.
